Disappointed

Curtains would not close all the way and bright light outside the window shining in the room while we were trying to sleep. Coffee maker in room didn’t work. Pillows uncomfortable. No clothes hangers. Not enough towels for 2 people. Breakfast was terrible.

My only complaint is that the floors squeak so you hear everything from the people above you. Every time they walk around squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. And it is super loud, but it’s not really anything anybody can do anything about.

Property is quiet, parking area well lit. Front desk clerk took a few minutes to come to desk, room needs better ventilation and air circulation, feels damp. Bathroom was nicely designed but needs baseboard and caulking. Cleaning was mediocre with long hairs found in the sink. Bedding could've been cleaned better.

A wonderful work in progress

The hotel is quite lovely and the staff welcoming. It's at a great location and decorated in very creative ways. Free parking and a decent breakfast. It was undergoing renovations so some things were a bit unfinished or not functioning correctly e.g. the curtains in the room were not hung properly leaving gaps and there were no lamps in the room. Anything we pointed out was promptly attended to and we got apologies for things being less than perfect. We're definitely coming back here.

This hotel has a funky, original vibe without an "original" price. It's extremely affordable, with three big "FREEs"--free breakfast, free parking, and free WiFi. It has extremely clean and spacious rooms with sleek total bathroom remodels. The front desk staff are much friendlier than you usually find at this price point. The only heads-up regards the walkability and location touted by third-party booking sites. This isn't a neighborhood for strolling or sightseeing. While NRG Stadium, decent dining, and other destinations are relatively close, you would do as any native Houstonian would do: you drive.

Go Somewhere Else, if you can!!!

The front desk both at evening check-in and morning check-out was exceptional. Loved them! The overall hotel is in bad shape, old and dated!! My room did not have a lamp or a clock. Lamps are needed at night, especially with children!!! Clocks come in handy when you want to know what time it is and not need your personal phone to do so!!! Coffee pot in my room did not work so went downstairs and it was Ice cold, unplugged!! Was told I could have a new pot the next day, but I was only there for the one night so that did not help. Coffee would’ve been nice after a 4 hour drive! Remote was missing piece that covered batteries so they kept falling out! Room was clean as far as floors, counters and sheets but the fabric around bed bottom, disgusting with stains. Can only imagine what was there that you couldn’t see!!! That area of a hotel bed really shouldn’t be fabric!!!! Furniture old and in bad shape!! Everyone raved on the breakfast in reviews but that could only be done in false pretense because it was just sad!!! Coffee issues again… it had ran out and was having to be made so good thing I wasn’t in a hurry. No fresh fruit, usually there’s bananas, apples or oranges…nope!!! No yogurt!! Gravy was out, one biscuit left, 2-3 sausage patties. So needless to say, I’m glad I had my own food which by the way got frozen in the “super” tiny fridge in the room. So frozen yogurt for breakfast and the salad I had for lunch that day had to be trashed! Not worth $$$ or hassle!!!

Nice interior, clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, decent breakfast options. One minor improvement I would suggest is having a small tabel or fold-up tray table in the room.
